Re: 2000 S80 Steering wheel airbag

When i purchased the steering wheel on ebay, it came with the airbag (seller did not want to sell separate). Was not my intention to replace the airbag but rather to swap steering wheels for a better condition/color. Upon looking at the back of the airbags I noticed the differences. I was just ...

Re: 2000 S80 Steering wheel airbag

I did not know that but if I do sell it I can switch it back. I suppose I can keep my original airbag but with the newer used steering wheel. Thanks for the info.

Re: 2000 S80: Full Size Spare?

I was able to find the exact type rim that I have in an auto recycling yard. I have been using it as my full-size spare and it does fit perfectly in the same spot as the non full size spare did.

2000 S80 Engine Coolant Level Low Warning.

I have been getting this warning that is going on for a month now and I can't figure out what exactly is causing it. The coolant level is visible and full. I have so far replaced the Coolant Level Sensor ($40) and the Coolant Expansion Tank ($65) using all OEM. This has not fixed the problem the ...

Re: 2000 S80: Engine starts, rough idle, then dies.

Yes, that is what I did in the end. Ended up with a replacement throttle body, new starter, fuel pump, a few new ignition coils, and a new set of spark plugs. And now it runs like a charm.

2000 S80 Steering wheel airbag

I wanted to change my airbag/steering wheel to a different color than the one I have. However the one I wish to buy seems to have a a second pinout/connector that I do not have a connection for in my current set up. I only have a green pinout/connector that comes out of the clockspring. If I use the ...

Re: 2000 S80: Engine starts, rough idle, then dies.

My local mechanic now tells me that they have a different throttle body that they tested that should work for my S80 and will install it and see if that runs. He also told me that the original throttle body I had that malfunctioned was causing an electrical issue with overloading the wires going to ...

2000 S80: Engine starts, rough idle, then dies.

The problem started suddenly, driving about 50-60 mph then I noticed the RPMs dropped to 1500 and began to slow. I pressed the gas more and the RPMs did not increase nor did my speed and the engine was still running while I was coasting at 40 mpg. When I pulled over to a stop and put the car in park ...

2000 S80: Under Engine Protection Pan

Hello, I live out in Southern California and we don't get very much bad weather. Recently I was caught and drove through a thunderstorm that produced a flash flood across the road that was at least 8-10 inches deep. I did not get flooded out and was able to keep going at about 3-5 mph, three other ...

Re: 1999 S80 No Throttle Response

I had a similar issue and brought it to my mechanic. He claimed it was my mass airflow sensor and had it replaced. He did clean the electronic throttle body as well. Since then I have had no problems so far, and it has been about 3 months.
